"I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive."

I'm not so sure. I think that Hahn will take over the GM duties in actuality as well as in title. I expect that KW will spend more time with player development and, given his emphasis on high ceiling picks, that is a good thing.

Thanks, Kenny, for all you've done over the years. One of the most exciting GMs in Sox history in terms of going for the big prize and taking risks that sometimes panned out (Thome, Garcia) and sometimes didn't (Ritchie, Koch, Dunn ca. 2011).

Congratulations, Rick. You deserve a shot, and I'm glad it's with us.

Now get to work.

He's saying that he thinks Hahn is going to be the Gar Forman to KW's John Paxson, meaning that even though Hahn is the G.M., it's more of a figurehead spot, while KW will still be pretty much the G.M. when it comes down to actually making player/personnel decisions.

Which I think is false. I think this is Hahn's baby now, and while Kenny surely will still have input, the decisions will rest on Hahn's shoulders.
